. >> you just got back from the afghanistan, pakistan region, do you think the president was right in surging troops in afghanistan? >> i think we have, chris. we're seeing evidence of the success of our military. you can see it in the news reports. you don't have to be there to see it. i saw it firsthand and got a lot of good briefings that indicate what i had already believed to be true. we still have tremendous challenges there. the afghan government still has a long way to go on corruption or anti-corruption measures. building a judiciary that's stronger and more reliable that people can depend upon for the rule of law. so it's a long why to go. i think we've seen good results at least on the military part of the surge, but we still have a long way to go. >> do we know where al qaeda is headquartered now? what country it's in? >> chris, i'm not sure that there's one place. but certainly in yemen, certainly the southern part of yemen there's a real presence there. even if the al qaeda numbers are way down, even if you could count the numbers and some people say that the numbers in
